Saboteurs Blast Oil Pipeline in Northern Iraq


BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Saboteurs blasted a key oil pipeline transporting crude oil from the northern town of Beji to one of the countries largest oil refineries - another in a series of attacks targeting Iraq's infrastructure, authorities said Tuesday
Large plumes of thick black smoke rose above the pipeline burning near the town of al-Mashahidah, 20 miles north of Baghdad. The explosion ripped through the pipeline late on Monday, said Salah Ali Hamid, an oil security guard.

The blast cut off supplies to the Dora refinery, which produces gasoline, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas for the domestic market.

1. oopsie doodle
no oil from north or south now.

And the UN is castigating the U.S. for mispending the oil being sold from Iraq. Stealing it basically.

I wonder why the Iraqis don't want us to steal their oil? How odd.

2. I've been thinking....
Maybe this war is not about oil....Perhaps it is about oil repair contracts?
